I might have one that will work if i can find the darn parts engine in the shop... also like brand new online i found a bunch brand new for like $20- $25.
you sure you have a good condencer and clean points? if not get a magnetron magneto cheap off ebay, juat be sure it will fit your engine. you will have to reasearch it alittle bit but it can be done!
Yeah- thats an oldie MTD - i think on briggs motors some of the mags were the same for different size motors - you could probably open the holes a bit to mod a new mag to fit- worse comes to worse you could put another motor on it till y find a right mag for it.
come to think of it i have ran into a problem with those new mags going onto the older engines. something about the hole spacing isnt right. ill have to check
It seems to me i drilled the holes out a little on one a while back.... I think it worked.. It was on the mower of awesomeness before the engine swap.. If i remember right...

why dont you just put a mag off of one of the engines that you got from Rich. Like the one we saw in the "unsticking a briggs engine" video?

looks like the same coils on any briggs including my 95 briggs probably should be able to scronge one of any briggs

u should try to clean the magnets on the flywheel because they are probly rusted and clean the rust of the magnito.

It's an 82 or newer cause it's electronic ignition, i call tell by looking at it.
I have a couple around that you can have, what Hp or Cubic inch is it?
5 stars for saving an old beautiful mower like that.

Pointless ignition... The people on one forum i looked up said these things dont usually last.. They just come and go...
One guy replaced his three times... Fourth time he replaced the engine with a honda... Haha...

i hope one for a 6hp quantum will fit then. does this use pointless or points? i have a complete coil, points, and condensor from an '80 briggs

This is nothing electric... Just the magnet deal...
